This is a Cabinet Island that I Built forThe Abbey Coffee Shop, I Finished this project a couple
months ago, but I have been supper busy so I didn't get a chance to post about
it.

This project was
a little bigger that I usually like to take on, mostly because it
takes up the entire shop. I worked in a cabinet shop for a couple of years when
I was in high school and that's where I really started to
get into fine woodworking, so this project was fun to get back to my earlier
day of wood working.

About Me

My name is Dan Forshner. My passions in life are God, family, friends, the ocean and woodworking. Since, I was a young boy I have always used wood working as a creative outlet. I love the unique properties of wood. Each piece has its own beauty with different grain patterns and colors and I have a passion to bring them out. I have an enthusiasm for creating pieces of art and furniture that are as unique and individual as the wood itself.
Growing up as a third generation carpenter I have learned to build each piece with quality and care. I have also learned how important it is to be a good steward of the earth and with that in mind I use recycled wood whenever I can. It’s amazing what you can find under an old coat of paint or varnish.
My hope and dream is that each piece I make will be something that will be passed on for generations.
